Presenting to Wellington city council about the golden mile today… if you want a sneak peak of what my speech is about

Oh my god www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Inspired by @thewaroncars.bsky.social’s book, so I’m trying to help support people focused places here in Wellington! Let’s mobilise to get more space for people in our city 💟

Life after Cars by @thewaroncars.bsky.social nails how much better life will be when we stop designing streets for cars. Streets made for people to enjoy are amazing; challenging, inspiring, connecting us. Streets for cars make us sad. Streets for people revitalise us.

I also thought maybe I missed something... maybe in the National/ACT/NZ First coalition agreements there was a carveout so ACT/NZ First could botch National's plan. Nope. They didn't concede on anything to do with pricing methane. National could've stood their ground????

They were talking about "no additional warming" in 2023. Well signalled, but crucially there's no government incentive to meet the weakened targets now. And under this government, there never will be.

Technically, they never used the word promise. Technically I never used the word promise when agreeing to pay my mortgage. So maybe I can just stop paying my mortgage with no consequences if I treat it like an election commitment lol

Catching up on the Government's suite of atrocious methane policy changes. Todd McClay said on Morning Report that the National Party didn't promise to price methane emissions on farm. Not true.

Trying to do @drdrehistorian.bsky.social proud and taking the train to Auckland 🚞💟

I’m so grateful for the rugby games in Wellington meaning I can take the train on some weekends ❤️🏉🚂

They found tram tracks that haven’t been used in 60 years during the golden mile work. Back when we abandoned the Wellington trams, we just put tarmac over them!
